Cool article :) I think Sungkyunkwan Scandal was a book too! Oh, and then there are all those chinese dramas like…
You would be surprised how many novels actually were internet novels before becoming published work. My Name is Kim Sam Soon was actually an internet novel before becoming published.
Goong was my first manhwa, back before I even started watching dramas. I loved the first half, however, the second…
Believe it or not, I haven't watched Goong yet but it's on my list to watch. I am not too surprised on "loving the first half and hating the last half." Since watching kdramas, I have learned to almost expect that. I guess that way, I won't be as disappointed.
That's an interesting idea for an article! Except for Elegant Lies I had no idea these were based on books.
During my time searching for dramas and movies, I was really surprised on how many were actual novels first. Had you had a chance to watch Elegant Lies? How did you like it?
When I read this article I was reminded about how a lot of the works the Iura Arata starred in are based on books…
Thanks for the list of Japanese novels. I have just a few of those listed by really love this list of possible dramas and movies to watch. Thanks for reading:)
I read your article and then watched Elegant Lies. Amazing movie. Your article is very interesting. I wish I could…
Elegant Lies has made it on my favorite movie list. I just fell in love with it and have already watched it for the second time. I purchased the English translation of Coffee Prince from Amazon. Thanks for reading:)
Amazing one ! I really like to read more about the books Korean movies are made from ! It shows how athenticity…
I hope you get a chance to actually read them. I purchased "Coffee Prince" recently and I am enjoying it so far. The drama does follow the book closely but the novel is a bit more in depth. Thanks for enjoying the article.
OOOooo. Love seeing all the "readaholics" come out. I really appreciate you all for give my article a read. Alot of the books you all have suggested were already on my list to feature but there are quite a few new ones that I had no idea were from books. I am planning on featuring Japanese and Chinese dramas that were also adapted from books as well. Thanks again for the reading :)
You have just made my weekend. Each movie includes an actor that I don't mind giving up a few hours to watch. I will definitely add these to my list to watch especially "The Harmonium in My Memory" Thanks for the recommendations.
thanks for the movie tips.
Just finished watching twilight online, really good movie~
You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed Twilight Online. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Eddie and Babyjohn. That made the movie so much more enjoyable.
Five Minutes to Tomorrow is a Sino-Japanese co-production, but the filmmaker is Japanese. Generally, slow, sometimes…
I would have to say thinking back on the movie and from your thoughts, I would have to agree it has more of a Japanese film feel. I hope you do get a chance to check it out. I think you will appreciate it.
